La Gaume is a region in southeastern Belgium. At a lower altitude than the Ardennes, it borders the French region of Lorraine to the south, the Arlon region to the east, and the Belgian part of the Ardennes to the north.
The region was part of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg until 1839, when it was incorporated in the new Belgian province of Luxembourg. The unofficial capital of the Gaume region is Virton.
Temperatures in this region are often 1 to 3 °C higher than in other parts of the province of Luxembourg , due to a distinctive microclimate.
In cultural terms, Gaume is the Romance-speaking part of what is now called Belgian Lorraine. The Lorraine language, distinct from Walloon, is a minority language in the Gaume region, where it is known as Gaumais. Although its use is declining, several local authors are trying to revive it. Lorrain is recognized as a regional language of Wallonia.
